Boris Johnson rocked by wave of No 10 resignations

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been rocked by a string of resignations from his team of aides in Downing Street....

Three of the departed aides were caught up in the lockdown parties row, including senior civil servant Martin Reynolds, who sent out an invitation to a "bring your own booze" party.

But policy chief Munira Mirza quit over the PM's false claim that Labour leader Sir Keir failed to prosecute Savile when he was director of public prosecutions, and his refusal to apologise.
